Excise Tax Return

Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5061 and 5703, the Federal alcohol and tobacco excise taxes imposed by chapters 51 and 52 of the IRC are collected on the basis of a return, containing such information and submitted as the Secretary of the Treasury requires by regulation. Under those IRC sections, respondents file such returns on a semi-monthly basis, except for certain small alcohol excise taxpayers that may pay on a quarterly or annual basis depending on certain circumstances. Under those IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR chapter I require alcohol and tobacco excise taxpayers, other than those in Puerto Rico, to report their tax liability using TTB F 5000.24, Excise Tax Return. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to establish a taxpayer's identity, the amount and type of excise taxes due, and the amount of payments made.
